Where have I been ?

The last few days, have found me engrossed in on my latest endeavor and left me little time for much else.  Right now I'm involved with establishing an organic food co-op. While I had hoped for interest in the idea, it has been greater than I expected with no more exposure than it has so far. Currently I  am working on a new web site to be used to disseminate information about the initiative.  As soon as the web site is up and running I will publish the address to it here.

An organic coop is something that is valuable to the community.  We must begin to be dependent on our local community for survival and not be so willing to accept products from wherever they come. If you were not familiar with coop, you should make yourself more knowledgeable as to what a coop is and what it can do for you and your community. While I expect the coop will keep me busy for quite some time, I hope to make myself available to write more often.

It is important for all of us to be involved and aware of what is going on.  We must ensure the continued success and survivability of our communities.  Our reluctance to take an active stand and part is and will continue to be a major factor in the declined and death of our communities.  We only need to look at cities such as Detroit, to understand the significance. For far too long we have relied on corporations and governments for our survivability and continue on the same path.  Governments and corporations are ran by individuals with narrow minded thoughts that are not necessarily in the best interest of everyone involved.  Far too often and the corporations and governments have shortsighted goals that served their purpose primarily.

Ultimately it is not about the profit is about the people who the corporations and the governments represent.  If we continue, to allow ourselves to be dependent on these entities, we will allow ourselves to be controlled by them. We need only to look around ourselves and listen to the news to know that governments and corporations are becoming more and more self serving with little regards to individuals.
